Why did you choose the Administrative Professional Program? I have always liked the office environment, the materials and the many different tasks involved in this profession. I love organizing, creating projects, planning, writing, and of course all the people with whom you get to form relationships.

What are you learning about your career field that you find interesting or rewarding? I am excited how the profession is changing; administrative professionals are no longer just seen as "secretaries," but more as a key player. Most businesses view their assistants more as business partners and provide them with more responsibility. I also love all the technology that can be used in this profession.

Why did you choose Fox Valley Technical College? I live nearby, so having a college that was close to my home was a bonus, but I had heard many good things about FVTC. I liked what I read, as well as the variety of programs offered and the experience that the instructors have. From the beginning, I felt welcomed, and that makes a difference. I love all the activities available to give you experience if you want it. My favorite is the opportunity to be a journalist for the student newspaper, the Fox Times.

What type of job do you expect to find after graduation? I would like to make a difference. I have always liked media and I would love to have a position at a newspaper or news station, etc. I want to use the skills that I've gained, along with what I am good at doing, such as writing, analyzing, researching and listening. Plenty of room for growth and challenges would be great.
